Lijiazhuang, military school canteen.

Pei Yuanshao joined the senior commander's study class, and the class was full of colonels and lieutenant colonels. Just a brigadier general.

But he was also the only brigadier general with a very poor academic performance, and he was able to fall asleep during class time. And snoring. Pei Yuanshao is very unnatural.

"Damn, how do you eat good wine?" Pei Yuanshao said angrily.

The management of military ranks is very strict, and no alcohol is allowed in military schools, even in senior commanders' study classes, and they must also go out for exercises. This made Pei Yuanshao very unnatural. He couldn't read the textbook, and there were many words he couldn't read. I don't know. And the things he taught, they were all things he didn't know, what artillery angles, the speed of the intervals, the ghost knows that they have to consider the road conditions when they fight, they will introduce all kinds of geographical knowledge, for example, geology or something, the ghost knows what they will do.

In short, Pei Yuanshao came here, very uncomfortable, or rather, uncomfortable. Several class presentations. He's all white rolls. I don't know what to do with him.

Pei Yuanshao was also in a hurry, and if he wanted to drink, he had no choice. I'm really anxious.

"Hey, then, isn't that who?" Pei Yuanshao came here with a big bowl, he didn't know anyone, he remembered that he had introduced a few people here before, but when he inquired, he was on a mission.

"Hey, isn't this Chief Pei?" Zhang Liao took a few books and turned around to see Pei Yuanshao.

"Huh. It's really you, how about a half-sized brat? Look, you kid can read such a thick book. Pei Yuanshao was very happy to see his acquaintance. Especially when I saw Pei Yuanshao holding a thick book, this kind of book is estimated to be impenetrable by bullets.

"There, there, I borrowed a few books, nothing, nothing." Zhang Liao said. As he spoke, he pulled Pei Yuanshao to sit down, and then beat some meat dishes. People in the army have a strong taste and a special preference for meat dishes. Because eating meat dishes is not that hungry. It is said that there was a cadet who could only eat meat and vegetables every three or five times in the army, and when he came here, he had enough meat and vegetables, and he actually ate meat and vegetables for two months, and finally almost ate the top. The food at the military school is the best, and they also have a lot of chicken cuts, meat cuts, large pieces of meat, stewed and eaten, especially when there is a leg of lamb. Take a leg of lamb and nibble on it, not to mention how delicious it is.

"Chief Pei, how is it? It feels okay to be here. Zhang Liao asked.

"It's not good, the food is good, but there is no wine, when did we lack wine when we were fighting. But when you come here, there is no wine. I'm sick all over. There are rules for going out. Can't get out, there's no way. Pei Yuanshao complained that he could only vent the fire in his stomach on food now. There is no way, he eats well, but the problem is that no matter how good he eats, it is difficult to solve other problems. For example, wine. If you don't have alcohol, you're itchy all over, and drinking alcohol is also addictive.

"Sir, it's better to be patient, our way of fighting is going to change a lot. This drinking delays things. Zhang Liao persuaded.

"Well, I know that, too. Can. Uncomfortable. And this thing of reading, as soon as I see the words on the paper now, I feel like ants crawling, and I feel uncomfortable to death all over my body, which is very unbearable, and you don't know that feeling. I can't even look at it. What is the class talking about, it's all calculating this, calculating that, you say, look at a map, one moment say the contour line, the next time say the recess is the valley, damn it, you don't go to the field to see it, how do you know it's a valley, and a mountain, a frontal position, an anticline position, damn it, I don't know. I don't understand any of what we're learning. Pei Yuanshao said.

The Republican Army lacked senior officers, and Shang Wu had to retrain senior officers, teach them some basic knowledge, and at the same time let them understand the way to fight in the future, there was no way, most of his senior officers climbed up from the grassroots level, for example, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and many more such officers, most of them have not studied, they are all learning in actual combat war, for war, they are still only their own experience, not to mention the theory to practice in the process of understanding. In such a situation, many of them are in a very unfavorable situation, and it is quite difficult to develop in such a situation.

The Republican Army is in a period of military change, which is the inevitable way for them to take the initiative to learn war and sum up a more formalized way from the war. Even, they have a feeling of resistance, and there are no longer a few such officers. And it is such officers who are eliminated.

On the contrary, a young officer like Zhang Liao is very willing and easily receptive to this new knowledge. They can quickly master some of these skills, but they lack a certain amount of actual combat experience, which makes up for old officers like Pei Yuanshao. But they are still not suitable for the future development of the Republican Army.

Zhang Liao began to have his own strategic awareness, that is, he had a macro view, and he looked at military reform from a very high plane, and he knew that if the republican army did not take the initiative to change, they would simply not be able to meet the needs of future wars.

"Chief Pei, let's study it well, the scale of the future war will definitely not be small. Moreover, our troops have been reduced a lot now, but when they are really mobilized again. The troops will multiply several times at once. There are not a few battles, the opponents are extremely complex, the combat area is also very complex, and you must be familiar with logistics and supplies, as well as all kinds of new weapons, for example, flying in the sky, cavalry units on the ground, and artillery units. coordination between infantry and sappers, and so on. The number of combatants will increase dramatically. So, old sir. You'd better learn that in the future, wars may be fought very big. Zhang Liao said.

"Listen. Listen to what you mean, this fight? Pei Yuanshao pointed with chopsticks, he didn't know what he was pointing, he always felt that what Zhang Liao said had a lot to believe, and he didn't know why he thought so. That's how things changed anyway.

"Yes, it's big, it's big, if you don't want to learn, you'll be eliminated, I've seen a lot of reserve officers, they've all been eliminated and become reserves, and only those who know how to fight in the future will stay. Anyway, many things are more than we imagined. Zhang Liao said. Zhang Liao hopes that Pei Yuanshao will learn more.

And Pei Yuanshao listened. He finally knew why it was so transformative. Elimination, if this continues, an officer like him may be eliminated.

These words made Pei Yuanshao think a lot, and Zhang Liao was still busy writing a report. How will the special brigade fight in the future, and how can it more effectively disintegrate the enemy's operations. He still needs many, many summaries.

On a road construction site in Pingyang County.

"Hehe, your Lao Li is also here. What do you think? What's the difficulty? "Pingyang County Transportation Minister, Bai Ji asked with a smile, he is a retired military officer, and then appointed as Pingyang County's transportation minister, his task is very simple, is to build more traffic roads, roads are the most important infrastructure connecting various counties. It's busy, but he's very happy.

Because the road represents wealth, it is an important measure that can solve all problems, and such things will meet their various needs to the greatest extent, and this is the most important situation for them at the moment.

"Yes, really, I want to lend you some. There is no one to build this road, no. "Li Yang, the transportation minister of Xia County, is a businessman who is calculating and can maximize the mobilization of resources and save costs at the same time.

"Hehe, no, we are also short of people here, and I have found all the people in this village. You see, it's the busy farming season, and they're all going back. I still paid a lot of money for all of this, so they stayed, otherwise, they all went back. Some of them still have some fields, and there are very few people who build roads. Bai Ji said.

"Well, if only there were more people." Li Yang said. The most lacking thing in road construction is people, because the manpower consumed is very large, and the most important thing is that there is no one, many people go to the factory, even if the farm is saved, but the work of the work, the salary that can be earned is far more than that of the cultivated land, and to build the road, because the road construction is too manpower-intensive, there is an easy natural such work is not done.

"I've heard that there are people in the northern state, and people from several counties in the north have come here. Not much, though. But there are people. Let's join forces and take over the people over there, in this case, the situation will be much better for us. Bai Ji thought about it and said. He had the idea for a long time.

The local personnel are dispatched to repair the road, which costs too much, for example, the food treatment is good, the salary is not low, etc., the progress of the project is slow, but if those people in the north are used, they can process, the food can be slightly worse, and the progress of the project is rapidly improved because of the processing, which greatly improves their construction time, which is a good thing for them.

"It's a good idea." Li Yang said carefully. Because there is no pressure to use those people, and to use these people, they need to calculate the cost. In this way, the money is much less, and the progress of the project has increased significantly, such a good thing is too easy to find. That's what he needs most, and he can do that.

Two people coincided and they started doing something like this, which was not a very difficult thing for them.
